Fantastic food and service. Only complaint we have is the tables for two are too small and don’t fit much more than the plates

Scallops (both appetizer and main dish) were beautifully cooked and presented. We enjoyed the drink menu as well!

We had an amazing dinner last night. The eggplant starter was absolutely out of this world. The presentation tableside made it super special. My Nicoise salad was excellent and the coq au vin that my wife had was juicy and delicious. They made our anniversary special as well. We will be back!

Went here with a first-timer to Cincinnati who is a foodie. Ambiance was higher end and fun but not overpowering. Service was great. Food options were approachable and excellent. I think there could be something for everyone but also appeal to someone who likes a unique take on staples.
